Hurricane Dorian continues to move up the eastern seaboard and is expected to maintain its hurricane strength as it moves northeast off the coast of New Jersey during the day and evening hours on Friday. Here are the key messages for the upcoming coastal storm.

• There will be the potential for wind gusts up to 40 mph along the coast.

• A combination of the high tides and wind-driven waves may lead to minor coastal flooding along the Coast.

• There is also the potential for a period of heavy rain, but the storm will move out of the area by Saturday morning, so any potential flooding is more likely to be localized verses widespread.

Please secure all lawn furniture, grills, trampolines, construction materials, etc. as the winds will be strong.
